Description The little known, brilliant original text by Gaston Leroux has been immortalized by screen and stage adaptations. One of the greatest horror stories of all time, The Phantom of the Opera makes compulsive reading.
With an Introduction by David Stuart Davies. "… the shadow turned round; and I saw a terrible death's-head, which darted a look at me from a pair of scorching eyes. I felt as if I were face to face with Satan…" Erik, the Phantom of the Paris Opera House, is one of the great icons of horror literature. This tormented and disfigured creature has made his home in the labyrinthine cellars of this opulent building where he can indulge in his great passion for music, which is a substitute for the love and emotion denied him because of his ghastly appearance. It is in the Opera House that he encounters Christine Daae whom he trains in secret to become a great singer. Erik's passionate obsession with a beautiful woman beyond his reach is doomed and leads to the dramatic tragic finale. Gaston Leroux's novel is a marvellous blend of detective story, romance and spine-tingling terror which has fascinated readers ever since the work was first published. AUTHOR: Gaston Leroux (1868 - 1927) was a French novelist, playwright and journalist. His principal claim to fame is to have written 'The Phantom of the Opera', but also he wrote a number of extremely popular detective stories, including the most notable 'The Mystery of the Yellow Room', the original murder-in-a-locked room mystery.
Mystery novelist, playwright, journalist using fast moving narrative style, complicated plots. Inspired by Alexandre Dumas, Victor Hugo, Jules Verne and Edgar Allan Poe.
